overflow and underflow bugs are the root of many software issues, ranging from fascinating to dangerous. in the first game in sid meier's civilization series, ghandi had an aggressiveness score of 1, the lowest possible. certain political actions reduced that score by 2, which caused it to underflow and become 255 instead - far beyond the intended maximum - which gave him a very strong tendency to use nuclear weaponry. this bug was so well-known and accidentally hilarious that the company decided to intentionally make ghandi have a strong affinity for nukes in almost all the following games. some arcade games relied on the level number to generate the level, and broke when the number went above what it was expecting. (the reason behind the pac-man "kill screen" is particularly interesting!) for a more serious and worrying example of integer overflow, see this article: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem> (unlike Y2K, this one is an actual issue, and has already caused numerous problems)

the first image is a chart explaining two methods of representing negative numbers with four bits (the one used in this post is on the left). the second is a real-world example of an "overflow".

as an example of how dramatic these differences often are, i looked at the file sizes for the downloadable version of master boot record's album "internet protocol" in three formats: WAV, FLAC, and MP3.

you can see that the file size (shown in megabytes) is nearly 90 megabytes smaller with the FLAC version, and the MP3 version is only \~13% of the size of the WAV version. note that these downloads are in ZIP format - the WAV files would be even larger than shown here. this is not representative of all compression algorithms, nor is it representative of all music - this is just an illustrative example. TV static in particular compresses very poorly, because it's so random, which makes it hard for algorithms to find patterns. watch a youtube video of TV static to see this in effect - you'll notice obvious "block" shapes and blurriness that shouldn't be there as the algorithm struggles to do its job. the compression on youtube is particularly strong to ensure that the servers can keep up with the enormous demand, but not so much so that videos become blurry, unwatchable messes.

A similar issue happened with Firefox - their own add-on signing certificate expired on the 4th of May, 00:09 UTC, [causing everyone's add-ons to be disabled](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-ons-disabled-or-fail-to-install-firefox) after that timed passed.

When people describe a port as a "USB port" without any additional info, they're talking about this one. USB-A ports can be found everywhere, and are (as of writing) still more common than USB-C.
|

|

If this is USB-A, and we're up to USB-C, then where's USB-B? You might have used one without knowing.
